The little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) is a small plover. The genus name Charadrius is a Late Latin word for a yellowish bird mentioned in the fourth-century Vulgate. It derives from Ancient Greek kharadrios a bird found in river valleys (kharadra, "ravine"). The specific dubius is Latin for doubtful, since Sonnerat, writing in 1776, thought this bird might be just a variant of common ringed plover. #LittleRingedPloversSeria #RingedPloversSeria #PloversSeria #BirdsSeria #indianBirdsSeria #indianAnimalsSeria #indianPloversSeria
